You ever try something ridiculous in the kitchen that worked out?
I ask because I just reduced a bunch of red wine and put it into my ketchup bottle.
It's actually pretty good. It did about what I expected and gave the ketchup a fuller body.
Cacao powder in chili. Turns out it's not that uncommon.
"sweet" spices in savory dishes in general, a dash of cinnamon/cloves is also good in chili
I love the inverse too, a little chili pepper in my hot coco.
I never have tried it in my chile, but i make a mean mole which uses the same stuff ofc
Bread + butter + honey + chili powder (I sub with chili oil).
AKA "Fuck Toast".
This is indeed fuck
was at a picnic and dipped a strawberry into hummus. resulting flavour was strangely empty, like these two things cancelled each other out perfectly leaving just a slightly salty mild tartness.
Didn't have oranges to make orange sauce for my fried tofu
Had some Mountain Dew and lemon marmalade, mixed that together and it came out pretty decent
What's weird is eating it, sans utensils, while sitting in a gaming chair in an otherwise empty room.
Amazing. I have mtn dew and lemoncurd in the fridge and wanna try this to annoy my partner.
Just remember that you're not gonna need any additional sugar
I mean, unless you enjoy feeling your teeth getting abraded
Mayo on chicken before cooking. Mix a bunch of spices in it and slather it on.
It's actually pretty amazing. It keeps the chicken from drying out and leaves a spicy crust.
In elementary school we read a kids book where they eat canned tuna with grape jelly. We tried it in class and it was actually good.
This is probably the only thing in the comments that made me gag a little. I'll take your word for it tho.
A friend has vegemite and peanut butter on toast. I think you need the pasted sugary PB for that to work because you get the salty/sweet combo. I tried with plain PB and it sucked so bad.
A coworker also said they used to eat ground coffee (not instant/soluble) sprinkled over icecream. The flavour combo is there, I can see, but I don't know about the texture.

It's just sort of crunchy, similar to topping it with like cookie crumbs or something. It soaks up enough moisture that it's not like a hard desiccating powder once you've got it in something like ice cream. Like the overall effect is literally "what if you put some kind of crumbled up coffee flavored cookie on ice cream."
I imagined a grainy, unpleasant texture, like coffee dregs but the crunch sounds nice! Will try.
ground coffee can work. I remember getting chocolate covered whole coffee beans as a kid once, they were pretty good. I could imagine that being pleasantly crunchy.
Balsamic vinegar reduction and ice cream/creamy dairy. It's great, the balsamic is fruity and goes well with richness. (TBF it's not necessarily cursed, just Italian)
